Yes, it's called community property (ie., both you and your wife)
Your wife's property is community property, even if your name isn't on the deed. Wife should find a way to protect the property from IRS liens. I believe a trust would do that, but you would have to create the trust before the lien is filed.
This is not meant as legal advice. Just my 2 cents.
